As far as the v shaped gun rest on top, just unscrew it if your caller has threads or as up-north 18 says use the gun rest to fasten your call to. As far as attacthing a metal stake (for hard ground) I carry a screwdriver and push it into the ground to make a hole. Just a note be sure when you insert the whimppy aluminum bottom extendable leg into the hole you made with the screwdriver make sure it is retracted enough so the next size beefier section is against the ground. It sometime bends the bottom leg
Wow guess I should've read the second page huh? Your picture is exactly what I was talking about. Just bought one a few minutes ago but I'll be using it for its intended purpose for now.
But I will definitely second your post, very lightweight, inexpensive, and can easily be carried in a backpack and then expand to about eye level.
